The Specific Terms of Pontoon Card Game - Pontoon Glossary

Pontoon is the British variant of blackjack, so it is not surprising to know that Pontoon has some specific blackjack terms which Englishmen use to play it. As we know, there are some differences between American English and British English languages and, for example, American “apartment” will be “flat” in Britain as well as British “trousers” will be “pants” in America.

  1. Blackjack (Natural) – the card hand of two cards which total is 21 (an Ace + 10’s or any Face card: Jack, Queen or King).
